I think of AC/DC's prime being the early- to mid-1980s, around the releases of Back in Black, For Those About to Rock…, Flick of the Switch, and Fly on the Wall.
That seemed to be the period when Brian Johnson's voice was strongest, with Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, and when Angus Young could still (almost effortlessly) duckwalk across the stage whilst playing the guitar solos, making the live shows an amazing mix of musical brilliance and showmanship.
Although I haven't seen any recent live performances, I'd be pleasantly surprised if they could – as Angus approaches his 70th birthday – still match that energy and deliver a live performance that would be value for money for those attending the Wembley gigs.
